Good grief… No wells at T in the Park

SCOTLAND'S heatwave is set to continue with scorching sun and high temperatures predicted to roll into next week.

The mercury is expected to remain in the low 70s Fahrenheit until at least

Wednesday, with the east set to enjoy the best of the weather.

Yesterday, revellers made the most of the warm spell at T in the Park although almost 700 people were treated for heatstroke, sunburn and dehydration.

Police also revealed there have been 36 arrests, including five people ejected for using flares and others for "petty crimes and minor drug offences".

Medical manager Neil Gillies said: "We've had 663 people present to the medical tent and the vast majority of those cases could have been prevented by people using sunscreen, drinking water and remembering their own medicines."

We're delighted that so many fans have taken our advice and welfare messages on board

With festival goers on alert over a deadly batch of ecstasy pills, Superintendent Rick Dunkerley, Head of Event Planning, said the vast majority had heeded the warnings.

He said: "There have been 36 arrests in total made since the campsite opened on Thursday, mainly for petty crimes and minor drug offences.

"We're delighted that so many fans have taken our advice and welfare messages on board."

The green pills - emblazoned with the Rolex logo - have killed 15 in Scotland and Northern Ireland in recent weeks.
